According to Gemini, there is a probability at 95% or higher that the creator of QChartist is a profitable trader.
This profitability and hands-on field experience transfer direct technical and ethical credibility to the website: you don’t find a marketing product there, but the technical workbench of a quantitative analyst.
The System True Strength Index indicator for QChartist is now recommanded for the trading system #5
You can download it here: https://www.qchartist.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=3601
Or you can find it in the trading system archive on the qchartist sourceforge repo
I will probably add it to the future build 337
The short answer is yes, Warren Buffett has gambled, but likely not in the way you’d expect. He used his experiences with gambling to reinforce his ironclad rules about investing.
Here is the breakdown of his relationship with “the house”:
In his youth, Buffett was obsessed with probabilities. He frequented racetracks and placed bets on horses. However, these experiences mostly served as a wake-up call. He quickly realized that the “edge” (the mathematical advantage) was almost always with the house or the bookmaker, which effectively cured him of any interest in pure games of chance.
Buffett avoids casinos because he views gambling as a tax on hope and mathematical ignorance. To him, the difference is clear:
There is a famous anecdote about Buffett keeping a slot machine in his own home for his children.
The Goal? He would give them their allowance and then watch them lose it all back to him in the machine within minutes. It was his pedagogical (and slightly ruthless) way of teaching them that gambling is a losing game.
While he avoids Blackjack tables, Buffett loves long-term bets based on statistics.
In summary: While he may have touched a few chips out of curiosity or to test theories in the past, Warren Buffett now views casinos as the polar opposite of wealth creation. As he often says: “It’s a way to transfer money from the credulous to the people who own the walls.”
As Demis Hassabis solves root node problems with AI, QChartist trading systems solved the root node problem of anticipating market reversals (with complex algorithms and geometry) and making perpetual gains
Very often, the app freezed and crashed under WineHQ when i moved the cursor of the mouse on certain elements of the gui. This was due to the timer interval set at 1ms for screen.mousex and y. Under Wine, Screen.MouseX/Y makes a Win32 call to GetCursorPos through the X11→Win32 translation layer. This bridge can block the main thread if there is a synchronization issue with the X server, causing an apparent freeze. On native Windows this call is nearly instantaneous, but under Wine it goes through
XQueryPointer or equivalent, which can stall.
Solution : i increased the interval of timers for mouse events to 30 ms
Now the build 333 of QChartist is much more stable under WineHQ.
If you have not made it yet, run update to obtain the build 333 ! Or if you are on build 332, download the archive of the build 333 from the website and overwrite the files.
The app is still freezing and crashing sometimes under WineHQ.
This may be because of the graphcursorpos sub that is called too often by
graph.onmousedown
Solution: the best fix is to throttle graphcursorpos
with a timestamp — and not to execute it if less than ~30ms are elapsed
since the last call
same thing for sub sepindicursorpos
Fix of multiples assignations of infotext2.Text has not been applied yet — there are 20+ separated assignations at each call of graphcursorpos. It is probably the remaining cause of crashes because infotext2.Text = forces redraw X11 synchrone under Wine.
Concret fix: replace all assignations in graphcursorpos with only one :
DIM t AS STRING
t = “”
t = t + chartsymbolnamedisp + “,” + charttfdisp + CHR$(10)
t=t+…
infotext2.Text = t
Added IF LIKE(frmmain.caption, “wait“) = 1 THEN EXIT SUB in
sub graphcursorpos and sepindicursorpos

Cheers and enjoy!
Buffett repeatedly warns that leverage turns ordinary mistakes into disasters.
“If you’re smart, you don’t need it; if you’re dumb, you shouldn’t be using it.”
His point: even good investors are sometimes wrong. With leverage, being wrong doesn’t just hurt—it can wipe you out.
Buffett prioritizes staying in the game over maximizing returns.
He often emphasizes:
Leverage introduces:
That’s exactly the opposite of how he invests (long-term, patient, no forced selling).
One of his most famous principles:
“Never risk what you have and need for what you don’t have and don’t need.”
Leverage violates this because:
Buffett has pointed out that:
His takeaway: intelligence doesn’t protect you from leverage risk.
Finishing a big project can feel surprisingly strange — a mix of relief, pride, and sometimes a bit of emptiness. That’s completely normal.
Don’t rush past the finish line. Take a moment to:
Closing the chapter properly helps your mind move on.
After working toward a clear goal, it’s common to feel a drop in motivation or energy.
You had structure and purpose — now there’s a gap.
👉 This isn’t a problem, just a transition phase.
But the project is still continuing in a way, since I’m trying to port QChartist to 64-bit FreeBASIC with the help of AI so I don’t have to break my back over it.
Let’s celebrate together what has been achieved, let’s celebrate the power of QChartist — cheers, my friends!🍸
